THIS APRIL, LAUGH IT UP AS TIME LIFE LAUNCHES
THE OFFICIAL ROBIN WILLIAMS YOUTUBE CHANNEL,
CELEBRATING THE ICON’S INIMITABLE GENIUS
The Channel, a Digital Home for Williams’ Classic Sketches and
Exclusive Extras, Will Launch With Five Clips and Then
Debut a New Clip Each Week
While Robin Williams started performing stand-up comedy in the mid-‘70s, most of America first fell in love with him as the naïve and hilarious alien from the planet Ork in Mork & Mindy. He became an instant superstar and went on to do five HBO stand-up specials and dozens of feature films. Robin performed steadily for nearly four decades—from comedy clubs to stadiums, from talk shows to USO tours—and continually amazed audiences with his frenetic energy and unbelievably quick wit.
This April Fools’ Day, the comedy connoisseurs at Time Life will launch The Official Robin Williams YouTube Channel, celebrating Robin’s comic genius. Whether you know Robin from the stage or from the screen, as a comedian, an alien, or a genie—home audiences can subscribe to the channel and be prepared to laugh and cry at unforgettable and hilarious performances by the singular talent.
Upon launch, the channel will feature classic live performance clips hand-picked from Robin’s HBO stand-up specials, including his uproarious sketch on the beginnings of golf (Live on Broadway, 2002), his emotional “Spark of Madness” (Off the Wall, 1978) and a hilarious and detailed account of his run-in with the famous signing gorilla, Koko (Live on Broadway). Also featured at launch are exclusive, recently shot interview clips with comedian Lewis Black on “Becoming Friends with Robin Williams” and David Steinberg, Williams’ longtime manager and friend holding forth with an “Inside Look on Robin Williams’ Genius.” Each week following the launch, the comedy mavens at Time Life will post a brand new clip to the channel.
Of the channel, Steinberg says, “What a great time to enjoy the gift of Robin’s genius. Who doesn’t need a laugh?”
The Official Robin Williams YouTube Channel follows on the heels of Time Life’s release of ROBIN WILLIAMS: COMIC GENIUS, a trio of DVD collections celebrating the iconic comedian’s 40-year career.

Robin Williams was a comic genius, as well as a great actor! He certainly was a leader in the comedic field. And he will remain one of my favorite comedians and comic actors of all-time! ..even his serious movie roles was/is great! Sadly, he left us way too soon. But his great works will live on forever, just as the love will by his millions of fans the world over for the man himself.
He has great stories and jokes.

Thanks for the contest.
I love how he would always make me laugh and that his laugh was so infectious that you’d start laughing too!
What I love most about Robin is his kind heart as he contributed to many charities.
I always loved how cheerful he seemed and it is such a shame how we lost him. We lost our daughter the same way. It tears your world apart.
There’s so much to love about him. Like many others, I still feel the pain thinking of his passing. I love and admire his comedic wit, his kindness, and what seemed like a genuine sense of heartfelt humanity.
I think that his movies are great! I like all of his movies!
I have liked Robin Williams for a long time. I like the character Mork!
Robin seems like a real genuine kind person.
I would smile for when he appeared in movies that I would watch.
